The EVR team has spent the past five years, and the former 2010 FIA World Cup winner in the 2WD class is positive about their chances in the Argentina-Chile-Peru 2013 Dakar.

“My team EVR is, without doubts, one of the best ´outsiders´ of the moment facing big factory teams, and we just proved this point in Morocco.

Even if the competition will be at a very high level in the Dakar, we know that we can bring a surprise at any time and most important, we can target an excellent final result."

This year the EVR team has already shown that they can indeed take on the “top professional " teams in cross-country rallying after their overall victory in the Morocco rally.
